Key Takeaways

• A carrying case is a perfect complement to the portability of the M1 iMac.
• I’ve been using the $35 nylon Curmio Travel Carrying Bag, and it’s become an invaluable accessory.
• There are more expensive cases on the market for iMacs if you need more protection.

Lifewire / Sascha Brodsky

I recently bought a carrying case that’s transformed the way I use my M1 iMac. 

The $35 nylon Curmio Travel Carrying Bag turns the iMac into a portable machine. It’s available for all sizes of iMacs, but the M1 iMac is so light and thin that it’s already halfway towards being something you can carry around. It’s such a great accessory I’m surprised Apple doesn’t offer its own version.

I purchased the M1 iMac because it’s the perfect upgrade from a laptop. At only around 10 pounds and about as thick as an iPad, the new iMac begs to be transported from place to place. But carrying it outside of your home can be awkward, and that’s where the Curmio fits in. 

Transformer or Not?

I bought the Curmio with low expectations. For less than $40, the carrying case wasn’t a significant investment, and I was desperate to find something to tote my iMac. 

While it’s lightweight and not very large, the M1 iMac with its 24-inch screen is surprisingly hard to carry. It’s easy enough to move around your living room, which seems to be what Apple intended, but there’s nowhere to easily grip it when carrying it over long distances. I had a couple of scares when I was putting the iMac into the back of my car and nearly dropped it. 

After an extensive online search for iMac carrying cases, I found surprisingly few options. Finally, I spotted a carrying case for the iMac from Curmio, a brand I’d never heard of. I couldn’t find a website for Curmio, but it got positive reviews on Amazon, so I gave it a chance.

Curmio to the Rescue

I was pleasantly surprised by the Curmio case when it arrived the next day. It’s well made with durable nylon, solid stitching, and easy-to-use buckles. 

The Curmio case straps onto the iMac in just seconds. It protects the screen well enough from scratches and dings, but you still don’t want to drop your computer even with the case on. 

There’s a carrying handle on top of the Curmio case, and once your iMac is inside, it’s as easy to carry around as a reasonably heavy briefcase. Best of all, there are several handy pockets on the front and the back that the mouse, keyboard, and power cable can fit into.

Curmio isn’t the only manufacturer to offer an iMac carrying case, however. I might invest in the highly rated Gator Cases Creative Pro Series Nylon Carry Tote Bag if I had money to burn. The Gator case is much sturdier than the Curmio, although it currently costs around $200. 

The Creative Pro has adjustable interior padding and a foam block cradle to keep the iMac from moving around. There’s also a rigid panel reinforcement in the front flap for extra screen protection. The bottom of the case is protected by rubber feet and plastic panels. You can also use the iMac while it’s still in the case, and it has a folding sun shield to protect the screen from getting washed out.

While it’s lightweight and not very large, the M1 iMac with its 24-inch screen is surprisingly hard to carry.

Also intriguing is the BUBM 21.5-inch Nylon Carry Tote Bag , which encases your iMac in what looks like a giant purse. The BUBM is discrete enough that it would be hard to tell you’re carrying a computer in this bag, which could be helpful in some situations. 

I’m delighted with the Curmio case and highly recommend it to anyone looking to carry their iMac around short distances. But if you need heavy-duty protection, you might want to look into either the BUBM or Gator case.

Regardless of your needs, your iMac will thank you for the extra protection and carrying potential.

Customer Reviews

Awesome - exactly what I was hoping for. the Waterfield have really out done themselves!

Love the bag, stylish yet durable! Great communication and fast delivery.

Product shipped surprisingly quick and was a higher quality than I dreamed it would be.

I was doubtful about transporting my Mac Studio, since I did not think it was supposed to be portable. After doing some research online, I realized that it is perfectly safe to carry a Mac Studio as long as it is done in a bag or container that protects it from accidental bumping and scratching. Well, there is nothing as practical, safe, and beautiful as the Mac Studio Travel Bag for that purpose. Its design meets all the requirements to confidently transport the Mac Studio in style! Thank you WATERFIELD!

Received my new Mac studio M2 Max, and ordered the studio travel bag, si it was about the only one I could find on line. I am a huge Tom Bihn Bag owner, but nothing they had would work, without modifications. Back to this bag, the side protection and top seem adequate enough to protect my mac, but the bottom of the bag was rather disappointing due to lack of padding.You would think a bit more protection on the bottom of this bag would have been a priority, especially having to protect a 2000 dollar plus piece of equipment. Needless to say, I cut out a piece of spare 1” thick foam padding I had and placed it in the bottom of the bag to protect my investment. Hope you take this advice as being helpful, just start thinking about protecting one’s investment, vs exterior appearance, sometimes you announce expensive contents with a bag. Thanks David N

The Mac Studio Travel Bag is custom-fit to protect your Mac Studio and accessories. It has separate built-in pockets to protect each accessory and keep them from bumping into each other. You can fit your entire set up in this compact case:

• Magic keyboard
• Wacom tablet (medium)
• numeric pad
• Magic Trackpad
• sizable mouse
• cords and cables
• power adapter

Ideal for taking on location, or just storing all your Mac Studio-related gear in one easy-to-find place.   

RUGGED CONSTRUCTION

The Mac Studio Travel Bag is constructed with high-quality, durable materials to protect your Mac Studio and accessories while transporting it from one location to another. Made of indestructible ballistic nylon or waxed canvas with a full-grain leather panel, the sides and bottom are re-inforced with extra padding to protect the contents from bumps and scratches from all sides. 

The bottom has an additional 6mm foam plus 4mm neoprene to help cushion the impact of frequently setting down the case onto a hard surface. A super soft lining surrounds the interior, and is used to create separate sections to store individual items so they don't accidentally bump into the Mac Studio itself.  

To help lighten the load, the Mac Studio Travel Bag can be carried on the shoulders using the WaterField Supreme Suspension Strap (sold separately). Or, it can also be carried by hand, use the comfortable leather handle that won't dig into your fingers.  

KEEPING YOUR ORGANIZED

Open your Mac Studio Travel Bag and you can instantly survey the contents to see if everything is where it should be. Your accessories are compartmentalized, each with its own specific pocket to keep them from bumping into the device itself. The front leather panel also has an external pocket for storing additional accessories, like a Wacom tablet. 

CARING FOR YOUR MAC STUDIO CASE

Gary shows how you can maintain the full-grain leather and the waxed canvas of your Mac Studio case so it will stay great looking over time. For the chocolate leather panel, we use Roughman leather which has oils that respond well to heat. 

P.S. Although the video shows Gary caring for the AirPods Max Shield Case , this method also works well for any of WaterField's full-grain leather and waxed canvas products.

This April Fools’ Day iMac travel bag rules, and I hope Waterfield actually makes it

If you buy through a BGR link, we may earn an affiliate commission, helping support our expert product labs.

It’s April Fools Day so, as we have done many years before this one, we must all face the deluge of technology companies releasing a “totally real” product today. However, within the cringeworthy press releases, there was one Apple -focused product that I actually thought, “This should be real.”

That’s where the Air Travel iMac Carry-On comes in. In a blog post, the company announced the completely fake product as a joke for April Fool’s Day. The product, which lets you store a 10-pound 24-inch iMac in a nylon bag, is the perfect accessory to be THAT person in a coffee shop or on an airplane.

Let’s face it: Size matters. Those other guys on the plane with their puny 16-inch screens will be green with envy when you pull out your 24-inch iMac.  Not only will your in-flight productivity increase, you’ll also get to collaborate with random strangers sitting next to you, whether they like it or not.  The Air Travel iMac Carry-On, for when a MacBook Pro just won’t do.  

The bag, which it appears they actually made a prototype for, will also store two water bottles, your Magic Keyboard, and your Magic Trackpad — or Magic Mouse if you’re one of those people. Like any Waterfield product, the Air Travel iMac Carry-On is made out of premium nylon and metal materials.

With more pockets than you’d know what to do with, you can easily carry everything you need for the ultimate inflight big screen experience. Pack your iMac, keyboard, and other travel essentials in the Air Travel iMac Carry-on and off you go. Forza nylon construction, metal hardware and a 1.5-inch nylon adjustable shoulder strap support your hefty 10-pound iMac.

Waterfield has the opportunity to corner this market with a quality solution, and I think they should totally go for it. I mean, just look at this guy below. He can finally travel with his iMac in style and he’s so happy about it:

While Waterfield also tested the waters with the HeadCase for Vision Pro and the Sixteen-Year Anniversary iPhone Pouch, I think they really hit gold with the Air Travel iMac Carry-On. I really hope this product turns into a reality and that I see someone walking onto the plane with one in the future. I will high-five that person and hope that they sit next to me.

I Spent Hours Reading Shopper Reviews to Find the 10 Best Travel Accessories at Amazon — From $10

Who better to trust than travelers in the real world?

If you click on links we provide, we may receive compensation.

Travel + Leisure / Daisy Rodriguez

As a travel writer, it’s important that I have the right travel essentials to match my on-the-go lifestyle. I rely on accessories that are durable enough to go the distance and can make my adventures as seamless as possible. And one of my go-to methods for finding them is checking out the trending and top-rated Amazon items recommended by fellow travelers and shoppers — because who better to trust than those actively testing products like luggage and comfortable clothing in the real world? 

And because it’s my full-time job to know the best deals on the internet, I spent hours combing through Amazon’s shopper review section to curate a list of the 10 most-loved, highly-sought-after products from the retailer. These items range from a travel backpack that one shopper dubbed as a “traveler’s dream come true” to a surprisingly spacious $10 carry-on duffel bag with thousands of perfect ratings. What's even more exciting is that many of these highly-rated items are currently up to 70 percent off, making now the perfect time to grab them and enhance your spring travels.

Samsonite Freeform Hardside Expandable Double Spinner Carry-on

Need a luggage upgrade? Look no further than this Samsonite carry-on, which has not only earned a spot on Amazon’s best-selling carry-on list , but has also received over 9,000 perfect ratings from reviewers. In fact, even a former full-time traveler has praised this bag : “After years of flying to four to five different cities every week (most of which had connecting flights and drives involved), I know my suitcases, and this one is the best.” That same shopper also highlighted their favorite features of the bag: its four 360-degree wheels that glide smoothly over everything from “carpet, regular floors, and sidewalks,” its spacious interior, and its stunning look that remained intact despite years of travel.  

Even more, this bag has earned high marks from Travel + Leisure editors, who dubbed it the best overall choice in their hardside luggage test . According to testers, “Earning perfect scores across the board, this standout suitcase is compact yet spacious, with a high-strength thermoplastic shell and smooth-gliding wheels.” It also happens to be on sale for $150 this week.

Apple AirTag 4-pack

Garnering nearly 100,000 five-star ratings, Apple AirTags have been called everything from a “ lifesaver ” and “ the best invention ever ” to “ the ultimate tracking device ” by Amazon shoppers. It’s clear that travelers can’t get enough of these Bluetooth tracking devices, as they effortlessly sync with the Find My app on Apple devices to provide precise, real-time tracking of your belongings. And, with this pack of four (that happens to be $20 off), you can head out with the peace of mind that all of your personal belongings are accounted for. 

Narwey Foldable Duffel Bag

After reading through dozens of duffel bag reviews, I’ve come to the conclusion that this one is the best of the best. At a mere 18 inches by 13 inches by 6.3 inches, the bag has a reputation for fitting “ a week’s worth of clothes, plus toiletries and shoes ,” — all while meeting the requirements for a personal item on Spirit and Frontier flights. It’s on sale for $10 and available in 42 different hues and prints, so you might as well snag one for you and your travel mates. 

Bagail Packing Cube Set

Packing cubes are an essential travel accessory for efficient and space-saving organization in your suitcase. And while there are plenty of packs to choose from, I’m particularly enchanted by this set that one reviewer claimed “changed [their] life” thanks to its ability to keep your items separated, compressed, and properly stored. Plus, you can get them double discounted for $16 thanks to an on-site coupon. 

Asenlin Travel Backpack 40L

If you’ve never traveled with a backpack, then let this be your sign to start. With their ergonomic design, backpacks serve as a roomy yet compact option to transport your belongings, all while helping you skew past unnecessary bag fees. This Aselin Travel Backpack comes with a 40-liter carrying capacity that one customer called “a traveler’s dream come true” because of its “spacious and thoughtful design” and water-resistant material. 

She’s Birdie Personal Safety Alarm

As important as it is to enjoy your trip, it’s just as vital to stay alert and vigilant no matter where you go. I like to keep a plethora of safety devices in my travel bag, but if I were to prioritize one, I’d recommend this Amazon best-selling personal alarm that reviewers say gives them “ peace of mind ” while they travel. And as a cherry on top? It’s 20 percent off. 

Anlmz Store 3-in-1 Charging Station

Keeping a full charge on your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods can be challenging. And that's before you factor in keeping track of a bunch of their different charging cables in your carry-on. Fortunately, Amazon has a three-in-one solution that charges your tech together in one convenient spot. And, one shopper loved it so much during a recent trip that they are “buying another one just to keep in [their] carry-on so they always have it for traveling.” Be sure to clip the on-site coupon so you can score an extra 30 percent off. 

JBL Tune 710BT Wireless Over-ear Headphones

To me, entertainment ranks high on my list of must-haves for a comfortable journey, and that typically begins with a great pair of headphones. But contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars for a high-quality pair. I personally love this pair of over-ear noise-canceling headphones for its stellar sound quality and comfortable fit — but don’t just take my word for it; take it from the thousands of five-star shopper reviews they've earned, each one highlighting their long-lasting battery and design that does not “fall or slip off” during transit. Snag a pair to try out for yourself, considering that they’re 25 percent off today. 

Talena Belt Bag

With spring in full swing (and summer just around the corner), the key to staying cool and comfortable is by traveling as lightweight as possible. And while this means wearing garments like breezy tanks and flowy pants, this tidbit of advice also applies to the bags that we carry. So what are Amazon travelers loving this season? This versatile $10 bag that can be worn as a belt bag, crossbody, or shoulder bag. Shoppers say that it “holds a lot” of stuff and that they can “fit a small wallet, notepad, travel-sized make-up, sunglasses, readers, and so much more into this bag.” Even more, its straightforward design can be styled up, down, and be worn virtually anywhere. 

Napfun Travel Neck Pillow

As a frequent traveler, I know the importance of getting good rest while on the go. That's why one of my priorities when I first embarked on my mission to find the best Amazon travel accessories was to track down a great, shopper-loved neck pillow. And let me tell you, I hit the jackpot with this incredible $15 one from Napfun. It is designed with memory foam and chin support for unbelievable, next-level comfort, and is regarded by one shopper as a “great pillow for travel,” a title that they gave it after they were able to rest comfortably on a 20-hour flight to Alaska. They added that flying with the pillow “was optimal in my ability to sleep on my longest connection flight, which was six hours.”

Cellular communication is available on most of the stations of the Moscow Metro. In March 2012, a free Wi-Fi appeared in the Circle Line train. The Moscow Metro is open to passengers from 5:20 to 01:00. The average interval between trains is 2.5 minutes.

The fare is paid by using contactless tickets and contactless smart cards, the passes to the stations are controlled by automatic turnstiles. Ticket offices and ticket vending machines can be found in station vestibules.
